    Purple Line with crispy eggplant
    Masmin P.

    I got the monthly special Purple Line- thinly sliced eggplant, crisply fried, with arugula and red peppers and a delicious spread of burrata. Glad I got a half sandwich as it was a substantial portion. The bread was soft but held up well. One of the two owners took my order and was very friendly and personable. Will be back to try other things on the menu!

    Food truck
    Renee H.

    Ya girl is back once again with a Yelp review. This time it's for a food truck. Food: 5/5 THIS SANDWICH WENT BACKKKK, and so will I. The sandwich I ordered was the drunken chicken parm. The sandwich was good, the meat to bread ratio was 10/10 nice and even. The sauce has the right amount of sweetness, and flavor which does not over power the chicken. The chicken was thinly sliced and breaded, cooked well so that it wasn't rough or super chewy like a lot of subs with thin chicken slices. The meat was layered with sauce in between. On the top of the chicken and sauce was cheese of course- with slices of mozzarella which seemed to be legit not the kind you get a local pizzeria with all the vegetable oil spots. Quite honestly, for a food truck in downtown Boston and the amount of food you get it's worth the $17 price tag- which i know can be steep for some. My photo is only half of the sandwich- I was too deep into the first half. Sorry. Service: 5/5 The service was very good. I went around the time the truck opened- which is what I'd recommend for any business where traffic can pick up easily. The gentleman was super sweet, service was prompt- i got my sandwich within 10 minutes and it was warm. Location: 3/5 The location is in downtown near rowed wharf. For a business it's well located, lots of foot traffic- and they move. I can only speak for the rowes wharf spot. The park is tough, i have to be honest- the truck was a bit hard to find BUT if you go to this link and select get directions, it puts you right near it www...rosekennedygreenway....org/map/?location=food-trucks-rowes-wharf-plaza...of course remove the extra periods. I'm personally not a fan of places that have heavy traffic nor the city. Parking: 1/5 as explained above. Prices: For a food truck the prices lean towards high. But as stated previously, i think it's worth it based on location and quantity. Suggestion: A sandwich with chicken slices and eggplant slices combined would be FIRE.

    Drunken Parm Sandwich

    The drunken parm sandwich is real good. Dare I say the best I've had in the city?! They charge $18 for it and although that seems utterly ridiculous even for Boston, it is worth every penny. Chicken is thin and crispy and smothered in some magically delicious sauce. If you like chicken parm, you must experience this sandwich. Haven't tried anything else on their menu because I can never not get the chicken parm.

    I remember when I first heard about this event. My initial thought was "oh look another way NYC and…read moreBoston can compete". Actually, I thought it was just another event New York City could dominate Boston at. But that's just the New Yorker in me. I kid, I kid. I've got nothing but love for Boston's food trucks. I was mostly interested in what trucks New York was going to come with as lets be honest the only food trucks I ever saw in NYC were the halal and hotdog trucks on the streets. And let's just say I was taught never to trust street meat. Good thing the website is good at listing the trucks and their websites so you can scope out the competition beforehand. Surprised to see almost all of them had websites. The first time this event was held in Dewey Square. Contained completely on the farmer's market island. My god it was a mess of lines and the wait for some of the trucks was horrendous. People had to plan strategically in their groups in order to hit as many of the trucks they wanted to try. Food truck competitions are serious business and apparently you call out a competition between NY and Boston you're going to pull a crowd to show some love for their hometown. It's understandable... even if the longest lines were from two NY trucks. The second time around the planners did a lot better location wise. They spread the trucks out along the less trafficked Greenway. Thank god they learned from last year. Also line control was handled a lot better.No funky zigzag across 4 different truck areas here. And there was also plenty of grass or curb to sit and eat. Now for the food. This competition has a habit of bringing an array of different cuisines. I had a plan to visit two trucks this time. Morrocan truck Comme Ci Comme Ca and Indian Chinese hybrid Momos & Buns. Most of the NY trucks had a limited 'Throwdown' menu. While I did pick up the kofka couscous from Comme Ci I would have really liked to try a few of their appetizers that I noticed on their website. The couscous was delicious and I think this was the first time I ever really tried Moroccan cuisine so I don't have anything to compare it to. But I'll definitely hunt down the truck when next I'm in NY. Momos I never got to. There was quite the line and I was not that patient. But while I was walking the area I stumbled upon the Cupcake Crew and tried their maple bacon cupcake. Wow, that was incredible. Although I think bacon makes most things taste better. In all it was a pleasant day with delicious food a relaxed atmosphere and I can't wait until next year's.

    I contacted Papi's Stuffed Sopapillas for food truck services for a company event, and they got…read moreback to me right away. They were so professional and easy to work with from start to finish. They had everything I requested and were happy to accommodate dietary restrictions. On the day of the event, they arrived on time and were ready to serve our employees without a hitch. Our team has not stopped raving about the food! I heard comments like "so fresh," "incredibly flavorful," "fun and unique," and "what is this delicious concoction?!" It really brought a smile to everyone's face. They were also wonderfully professional with our employees throughout the event. Highly recommend Papi's Stuffed Sopapillas for your next event, you won't be disappointed!

    I could eat their tortillas for life. They're so crispy and crunchy and I just don't have the words…read moreto describe it. My favorite so far has been the gyro pocket with the lamb and beef filling. It's a generous amount of meat atop some lettuce and banana peppers that give it an acidic finish along with some diced tomatoes. They do add a sauce on top that taste a bit like thousand island (my only complaint is that sometimes they put too much). If you see the truck, stop by and order a pocket, you won't regret it!
